This paper proposes a hybrid electrification approach for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like cement production, assessing technical and economic feasibility to achieve low-carbon manufacturing and significant emissions reductions.

Hongfang Han, Jiakai Zhang

This study examines the impact of China's low-carbon city policy (LCCP) on wage inequality between executives and rank-and-file employees using a difference-in-differences approach with A-share listed firm data (2007-2023). The LCCP reduces…

This briefing note updates the 2023 paper on IMO targets, incorporating latest data on global CO2 emissions, shipping emissions, and remaining carbon budgets to propose Paris-compatible targets for international shipping.

Wanyok Atisattapong, Pasin Marupanthorn

This paper proposes a dynamic carbon-budget portfolio optimization framework under ETS transition risk, using Black-Litterman model. It validates with EU and UK historical data and applies to Thailand's pre-ETS context, offering investors a…
